This page took slightly longer to make..not cause it was a challenge, I just needed a little time to recover, hehe I've got a lot of projects I'm working on for SLN and the website... so I've been trying to manage my time to get all that set up. With that aside... I love this page, Brave Bird effects are surprisingly fun to illustrate.

@Djoing: Aaaaaaaactually...Semi-glad someone commented on that becauuuuse yeah for the sake of well... I dun wanna have Silver need to go to someone to learn these moves... his pokemon in cases like this are just going to get it... THOUGH I can justify this one here despite its Deus Ex Machina-ness

most readers will hopefully deduce that the "Silver..!" back in page 20 was Athena telepathically speaking to Silver. Hearing his thoughts, she evolved to achieve his desire, and this communication - A SIGNAL...if you will, is what's enabled Athena to gain the move upon evolution, she self taught it through her bond with Silver since even the Pokedex stats, the bond with its trainer makes it stronger.

And of course Silver noticed this when he saw her stat page and it listed the new move, one which can actually damage Murkrow..again, something Silver wanted. Few... lol

@Porky: I've made a joke that if Gardivoir gets a mega form that gives it angle wings, I'm going to sue because if you watch the SL opening...I basically gave Athena a mega form a year before we even knew what those were... lol

but no, SL isnt restricted to any gen or game, I will adapt anything I can borrow that'd make for good story telling so Athena WILL get fairy type..but not right away she's gonna need to "unlock" it.

Please continue

I've started reading these comics and they've got me SO PUMPED! This is just a good story that puts a twist on pokemon. In this situation I personally would have a Riolu as a partner. I like wolves and this is just the start, so no legendary pokemon for me. Also trench coats all the way!
